Benjamin Franklin

      Where  there's a will, there's a way. This is how a person can attain a prosperous life. It is through determination, strong will, and perseverance, which are the main elements in achieving success that one can seek and achieve. Benjamin Franklin is one of those persons who worked hard to have what he owes to.

        Benjamin Franklin, through hard work and perseverance, transformed himself into a philosopher, diplomat, inventor, writer, and scientist. Franklin’s contributions and ideas significantly encouraged major progress in the development of his country and improvements that continue to affect society. He showed that with a strong desire and honest and hard work anything is possible. Unlike most politicians, he was a common person. He is also a hero in that he symbolizes hope and possibilities for many Americans. However, Franklin was not a perfect human being, and for that reason, some believe that his face should not grace the $100 bill. His legacy is undeniably a major part in history and as one of the key “founding fathers” to his society.
Franklin moved from Boston to Philadelphia in search of a better place to stay and for his exploration. He is known for going “from rags to riches” from achieving many jobs and contributing to the colonies as a way to give back to the community. He became the first person to open a public library in Philadelphia in hopes of helping more people to educate themselves. Later, he established a fire company, developed a hospital and many useful things that are still with us today.
     In my opinion, Franklin was a man of his time. So I believe it’s hypocritical to suggest that Franklin should no longer be on the bill but his many positive contributions and will more than make up for his human shortcomings.
